World Series Game 1 notebook (second version): Who's Kyle Snyder?

When it was determined that Tim Wakefield wouldn't be able to pitch in the World Series it created an opening for a player who wasn't on Boston's roster in the American League Championship Series. Red Sox manager Terry Francona made the rather surprising announcement yesterday that Kyle Snyder would be added to the club's active roster.

It has been speculated that Julian Tavarez would be the likely pitcher to replace Wakefield. Francona said he also considered adding Bryan Corey to the roster.
